There are formal yet comfortable living and dining rooms with custom millwork, a stunning updated kitchen with top end appliances, a pretty powder room, laundry and a classic spacious foyer. Top floor is amazing with 2 very good sized bedrooms, a true spa bathroom retreat and light filled office space. Lower level is truly unique in its vibe.
